South Park’s artistic legacy is one of initiating difficult conversations. Refusing to post controversial episodes is antithetical to the value of the show.
I grew up with South Park, it has been a staple of my life, and my kids' lives, since the beginning. I still stream and enjoy it, from the first season (the first ones were the best admittedly) on. To ban any of them is just wrong, like censoring "I've got a Dream," Or other cultural, earnest, art. Leave it be for us, and the next generations to embrace, in whole. Thank you
Censorship makes no sense in this context, paying customers are choosing to watch the show. The offended people who want to send death threats to the show's creators can simply choose not to watch the episodes that offend them. By censoring the show you are going against the very spirit of South Park, which is that nobody is immune to being made fun of.
